Thompson clung to a 171-vote lead Thursday over Democratic challen5er Adlai E. Stevenson after a nearly complete unofficial tally of returns from the Democratic stronghold of Chicago. But it appeared the race for Illinois governor might not be decided for two weeks or more. With all but 15 Chicago and 106 suburban Cook .County precincts reported, Thompson had 1,786,6 32 votes to Stevenson's I,786 ,46 1. Cook County Clerk Stanley Kusper said results of the uncounted suburban precincts would be released Friday morning, after the entire 2,457-precinct suburban county vote had been fed to a computer and spit out in printed form. But it was unclear late Thursday when-and exact ly how-the 15 Chicago precincts would be counted. Chicago is under seperate election jurisdiction from the rest of the county. Representatives from Stevenson's and Thomp son's campaigns, the Cook County GOP and Democratic Party organizations and an assistant U.S. attorney were to meet with Chicago Board of Elections officials to discuss the issue.
